Quick Data Migration

What You'll Learn

This tutorial migrates a real PostgreSQL database to MySQL, live, inside the app — no data warehouse to stage things in, no separate tool to configure. Just a source, a target, and three steps.

Tutorial Coverage

• Source & Target: Pick the source database and where the data should go
• Tables & Structure: Choose the tables to bring over — the target schema is created and converted automatically
• Write Behavior: Create only what's missing, and clear each table before loading
• Run & Monitor: Start the migration and watch rows move in parallel, live
• Run History: Every run is recorded in the sidebar, so you can revisit it any time
• Verification: Compare the converted schema, the generated DDL, and the source/target data side by side — across any table in the migration

Prerequisites

• DBConvert Streams deployed and accessible
• Source database with read access
• Target database with write permissions
• Network connectivity between databases

Migration Features

• Schema Conversion: Automatic schema mapping and conversion, with the generated DDL visible for review
• Progress Monitoring: Real-time migration status and per-table metrics
• Run History: Every run logged under its stream configuration
• Parallel Processing: Multiple writers move data in parallel, directly from source to target
• Built-in Verification: Schema and data comparison in the same view — no separate tool needed
